Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Sunday spoke out about a controversy regarding PTI’s women elected to the National Assembly (NA) on reserved seats.
PTI leader Fauzia Kasuri was dejected for not being among those who made it to the parliament on reserved seats.
She publicly vented her anger on twitter, igniting a heated debate among PTI leaders and supporters.
Khan finally broke his silence on the issue when he tweeted, “the senseless controversy over women reserved seats must end. The two who made it from Punjab have come on merit.”
“Dr Mazari highly qualified & rooted in a strong ideological commit 2 PTI’s vision & Munaza Hassan won the WW elections! Merited 1&2 on list,” he wrote.

  1. Munaza Hassan might be an old member of the party but she hasn't even contributed 1% of what Fauzia Kasuri has. Being a long time member isn't the only aspect that should be looked at.

  2. Fauzia was women wing president during difficult time. She wanted to contest intra party election for the same post. To be eligible she applied for revocation of US citizenship. before her revocation application is approved Munaza was elected. She finally got revocation. Dejected Kausuri had two hours meeting with IK during which she was promised respect. She did not get.
    There are creative ways to bestow respect upon Kausuri. Despite my utmost respect for IK,he is not a creative person. We Paki are lucky to have him but not very lucky.
    I hope PTI will find way to resolve it. I suggest Kasuri stays with PTI and continue internal struggle for reform.

  3. @FauziaKasuri should ask herself, was she in #PTI for seat & position or for ideology? If her choice is seat, then PTI is better without her, join some other party.

    • If every PTI MNA asked him/herself the very same question, then every single one of them would have to quit PTI. The party would be left with IK alone… O wait a minute, he too wants a seat! This is Politics, Son. You work your backside off to go to the next level. To self actualize… To represent your people, to represent your country… If one wants to work for the benefit of mankind then that individual can join Edhi or Chippa… They would be better off there instead of some Political Party… So, think before asking a Politician for being "seat-hungry". It's the ultimate prize they want to win. It's like accusing a student for studying too hard for winning a medal… Or an athlete for putting in a lot of effort to win… Would you call them Medal-greedy?

  4. Khan sb, You are our great leader but please the Mother of PTI should be always in PTI, we dont want to leave her, please consider again

  5. well priority list was submitted before the elections. at tht time her no. was 4 on the list. but she didn't objected at tht time. because she was confident tht pti will win enough seats from Punjab. but it didn't happen. and now she is protesting. thts wrong. I think she should remain patient and can easily get elected in senate.i think she is the mother of pti. most respected women of pti. she should be patient. as a voter of pti I respect her more then sheeren mazari, munaza Hassan and all other

    • junaid you are right, she should have patience and continue her work for PTI, her time, inshAllah will come soon. She is a great lady and one of my favorites. May Allah bless her- Ameen.

  6. Fauzia Kasuri is not a good leader but a better follower, she lacks leadership skills and one would always hear her saying Imran said this..Imran want this blah blah. I never heard her giving her opinions at all, however I still think she should have been given the second reserved seat after Mazari. No one knows Munaza Hassan, so Kasuri should have replaced Hassan.

    Imran talks about merit, however he fails to elaborate on the criteria he used to assess merit. Its his personal judgment so stop misleading people into believing that you have some criteria set for this purpose.

    Imran tell me what is the criteria? education, party position or something else and how much weight have you assigned to each of these attributes. I mean dont think we are uneducated! where is that formula you used or was it a subjective judgment Mr. Merit.

    You never had criteria for party positions during elections, or party tickets during nominations, and or reserved seats. Mr. merit if you have a formula to assess merit, I would love to know.

  7. Well !
    Mr. Khan, in my opinion you are required to be much bigger Politician and highly intellegent Person as you may have been in the past. Whatever be the reason of mis_understanding or mis_handling of issues but I you fail to resolve the issue of Mad. Fauzia Kasuri you will certainly hurt the feelings of milllions of PTI lover how consider that Mr. Imran Khan is a Leader of Great Qualities "I request you Mr. Khan, do the due and give more than due respect to Mad. Kasuri; becuase we all have noticed that she has done tremendouse for you and your party" Thanks@Think"

  8. PTI is a party of all those who want a real change in Pakistan. We should continue our struggle in this regard. Change is not brought in a night. It takes a lot of time. This is the duty of every sensible Pakistani to work hard and make preparations for the next general elections to be held in 2018. Insha Allah we would succeed in our sacred mission and change the whole idealogical structure of our lovely Pakistan.

  9. Having read this I thought it was really informative.
    I appreciate you spending some time and energy to put this
    content together. I once again find myself personally spending a significant amount of time both reading and leaving comments.
    But so what, it was still worthwhile!
